The best thing about this hotel was the location situated directly in front of the beach. The main lobby is an outdoor patio which also serves as the breakfast dining area and provides a nice place to sit under shade. It's the only location which has wifi. Rooms have cable connection internet. They also have an outdoor tent set up on the beach with live music and bar in the evenings. Very accessible to the beach and the main beach walking path with many tourists on the trail. If you walk down the trail for 15 minutes you will come across D Mall for loads of shopping and eating.

The room was very clean; bathroom, floor, and sheets. I noticed a slight smell from wet swim wear or humidity so i recommend opening the balcony window. I ate pizza in the room one night and put the leftover in the fridge but by next morning an army of ants appeared from nowhere.

On the third floor is the swimming pool and an outdoor shower to remove sand. A great place to relax and take pictures.

I took the plane to Kalipo Airport and then about an hour an a half shuttle ride to the main port. Then it's a 20 minute boat ride to Boracay. From there a about 15 minute bus/motorcycle ride to the hotel.

The beach has many locals who regularly solicit tourists.

The first thing that strikes you about this hotel is the location - its a fair walk from the main road, and yes the staff are there to help with the bags, but in the rain, it can be a long wet walk.The transfers from airport to hotel location were well handled, met at the airport, and transfered to the boat and then a van to the hotel.Once you arrive at the hotel proper, you see that its right on the beach, wonderful, but the access to the beach is made difficult by the screens spread along the beach to stop wind and rain. (More later)We checked in smoothly, if a bit soulessly. However, next morning, the issues began. There was construction noise at 7 am (and again at 7pm for that matter). The offerings for breakfast are not good, and if you want toast they have to take your bread away to toast. (we found a better breakfast at the Sands next door, and cheaper too).The water pressure and temperature in the shower was very variable. We had a leak from under the sink which I reported on day one - we still had the leak the day we checked out. Not sure, maybe they thought we liked it. There is net in the rooms, but for the entire week stay it was out of action. There is Wifi in the lobby area, but that can be slow, if many are using it.The staff we found generaly ok, although the front desk staff were a little vague about things, and especially about laundry when I inquired.Laundry is done for you, return next morning, but we needed to ask several times for a laundry bag, and there appears to be no such thing as a slip to complete when you put the laundry in. I wrote the details on a letter head. However, its cheap, 80php per kilo. It was clean when it came back, but not very well ironed.Now, you would think, located right on the beach, and subject to never ending sand ingress from peoples feet, that the rooms would be swept every day to remove the sand. Well, think again, our room was not swept once in the week we were there. I used a towel every day to sweep it from the traffic areas in the room to under the desk, and thats where it was when we left.There are very few rooms with any decent view, and word of caution, due to the outside lift arrangement, and these being glass, some rooms look out onto the lifts, so you will need to ensure curtains are closed for any privacy.There is a roof pool and one for toddlers too, which is a pleasant area, but can be windy when its really blowing hard.One good thing I can say, is that the rooms have an Aussie power socket, so adaptors are not necessary.Now, the screens on the beach. Most hotels are located along the nicest beach, but this also seems to be the weather side, because nearly all places have bamboo and plastic screens erected both along the beach and removeable ones that get placed in front of the hotels. Most businesses are open fronted, taking advantage of the weather, but paying the price when the weather is bad. The beach screens both restrict ease of access and are an eyesore on what is really a nice beach, but it appears are a necessary evil, and they all have them, so all are affected.Overall, this hotel is just ok, from our wanderings along the beach, there appeared to be better ones in other areas, but without staying at them, appearances could be deceptive.

Room Tip: Dont get a room next to a lift shaft. Ask at check in to make sure you dont get one.

Where do I start with this hotel. Firstly a transfer was arranged from catlican airport for which I received a confirmation letter, arrived at the airport no transfer waiting. Tried contacting the hotel on the telephone number the reservation agent could not help. In fact the airport porter flagged down the hotel staff to provide the transfer, despite having the confirmation letter the hotel staff was reluctant to provide the transfer.

Stayed in the presidential suite, don't let the name fool you nothing presidential about it. I have stayed in bigger standard rooms in my time. The room was not serviced properly everyday some days missing towels, rubbish not cleared and other days not cleaned at all until a call was made to reception.

During our stay an extension of the hotels was been constructed no mention of this at time of booking or anywhere on their website. The noise starts from 6am into the evening. Due to the constructions the "infinite" pool was not working in fact I highly doubt there was any water circulating at all. There was sand and pieces of coral on the bottom of the pool and remained there until we departed.

Speaking of departing my party had to leave a day earlier due to compassionate reasons, trying to receive any refund from the amount that had to be pre paid upon arrival was horrendous. It involved multiple calls and trying to speaking to a duty manager who was not even on site. Finally after not only speaking to the duty manager, the general manger but also accounts manager they agreed to refund 1 nights accommodation. Upon checking out the next day of course no one had any idea in regards to the refund. In fact still awaiting the promised refund.

Be warned about this mismanaged property, there are much better options in Boracay.

Just an overall poor experience. Staff unfriendly and not willing to assist. Had to call housekeeper every evening to make up the presidential suite. Breakfast was poor. There was construction and we weren't advised and the pool was a light shade of green.

Don't waste your time, stay elsewhere

Stayed here around New Year's and did not have a good experience at this hotel.

The hotel policies are ridiculous. You can't have more towels, unless you switch out the ones you have in your room. The hotel is on a beach. Of course we'll need more towels. The staff wanted to charge us for a towel that had a small stain that we didn't even cause. They should've cleaned their thin towels better. You also need to get a key in order to open the fridge in the room.

Got abruptly woken up on our first morning by a jack-hammer going away at it on a wall a couple feet from our room. The hotel was in the middle of construction. Half of the hotel still needed to be built. I had to complain to get us moved to another room. The breakfast was lackluster. Nothing too appetizing w/ flies swarming around. The staff also needs to be better trained.

As for stuff the hotel can't fix, the location is far off from the center of action. Boat station #2 is more lively, with the bars and restaurants. Boat station #1 is much nicer. I'm avoiding this hotel and the area the next time I'm in Boracay.
